What Are the Most Popular Excuses When Cheating on Your Partner?

That's pretty clear because a new list of the top excuses married men use on their partners when they go to cheat with their mistresses shows men have no imagination when coming up with a convincing lie.

Playing golf was the most popular excuse, with 34% of men using that old line on their wives when, in reality, they were going to show off a different kind of wood to another woman.

Top Excuses for Cheating

Playing golf - 34%

"I've got a business meeting" or "I have to work late" - 27%

Going to the bar with friends - 13%

Going to the gym - 5%

Shopping for groceries - 4%
